Etymology mentioned seems wrong
"The Mastiff name probably evolved from the Anglo-Saxon word "masty", meaning "powerful".[8]"
The Oxford English dictionary does not agree with this. My concise edition says :
"ME, ult. f. OF mastin f. Rom. mansuetinus f. L. mansuetus tame"
Same is said in French :
Un mâtin est un type de chien
Exemple : mâtin de Naples, mâtin espagnol Ce mot a été repris par les anglais et est devenu mastiff.
http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%C3%A2tin
Du lat. pop. *ma(n)suetinus «apprivoisé», dér. du lat. class. mansuetus «id.».
